That Old Tree posted:I assume "you must post this on SA" was part of the settlement, which is a perfect representation of how loving dumb and pathetic Zak S is. I expect that there’s a similar statement and mod resignation from Ettin on rpg.net too. Zak went far enough to make Ettin post it to an OSR Discord server Ettin was never part of - but coincidentally is a place Zak is banned from for being a shitlord that the mod staff criticized.

Slimnoid posted:Which makes the inclusion of his contribution to 5e in that apology letter all the more bizarre. Wouldn't WotC not want him associated with their products in any way, shape, or form? He’s the kind of person who thinks that winning lawsuits to prove he’s legally “right” is enough to win people back over to his side. It might work on Wizards of the Coast, MAYBE, if Mearls is still in charge.

That Old Tree posted:I could definitely get the basic legal argument that someone must disseminate their forced apology in relevant places of relatively high traffic, but I mean you could maybe argue that it’s a high traffic place because the OSR balkanized HARD after g+ shut down but no it’s just really loving petty.

Loxbourne posted:Several possibilities, but the most likely is simply that Ettin is not in a financial position to fly over to Canada (or hire a Canadian lawyer) to raise the argument that it has no jurisdiction. Entering a defence costs money; taking a case to trial costs even more money. This would have been in Australia where Ettin lives, most likely. Zak is able to sue Mandy in Canada because she's living there now.

Cyrano4747 posted:So fun fact, all the smilies have titles that I don't know if there's a way to see them in the forums. When I went in to create the original : zak : i just copy/pasted the : shrek : smilie. I believe those show up as the tooltip if you hover over a smilie on the smilies page. The one for :shrek : is now empty, the one for :zak : is "Zak S, pants shitter and abuser."

That Old Tree posted:I could've sworn some Kickstarter collaborator of Zak's was like "look, I can't kick him out and I can't just scrap this whole thing, but I wash my hands of this bullshit and I'm sorry." I guess that wasn't this Evans guy, though? Or did he change his mind thanks to Zak's amazing ability to poo poo all over a comments section as if they were his pants? That was Patrick Stuart who got linked with the false machine stuff earlier I think.

alnilam posted:Imo a tabletop RPG is basically a collaborative storytelling exercise, with rules and rolls as a form of creative constraint + a way to throw a wrench in your story and make you adapt this is a good take that simultaneously would get the aforementioned zak s loving pissed at you and shouting that you are an imbecile destroying the hobby (it's not true for all RPGs, but it's a valid way to play with very good systems that work like that)

Liquid Communism posted:This sort of thing is a common tactic in spousal abuse cases, too. Put the abused partner in a position of having to interact with their abuser. Often they'll try to stretch the case out and force face-to-face encounters at trial or in mediation just to get access to their former target's life again. This was what Zak did to Mandy in this case. The reason she had to fundraise again was that he dragged out mediation as long as he could just to go "nah, let's go to trial" and gently caress with her some more.
